Nations League relegation rounds off an atrocious year for Low's Germany, who flopped badly at Russia 2018 with a dire World Cup title defence.

Germany exited the tournament in the group stage having finished bottom of a section that included Sweden, Mexico and South Korea.

However, Low has been boosted by Marco Reus returning to training with the team on Saturday, the playmaker having sat out the 3-0 defeat of Russia.

Borussia Dortmund captain Reus has been in inspirational form to help his team go top of the Bundesliga, scoring eight goals including a double in a 3-2 Klassiker win at home to title rivals Bayern Munich last time out.
